This has been sitting in my allrecipes.com recipe box for probably over a year now and I finally got around to trying it tonight. It was incredible, much to my surprise! It has a nice little zip to it from the mustard and has a great flavor combo with the parmesan cheese in the bread crumbs. And I loved how incredibly easy this dish was, too, and I already had all the ingredients on hand. Great for a busy night and will please the whole fam!

{What you need}

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

1/4 cup evaporated milk

1/3 cup bread crumbs

1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus extra to sprinkle on top

4, 4 oz boneless chicken breasts

Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Grease a 9x13 casserole dish. In a shallow dish, whisk together mustard and milk. In a separate shallow dish, mix together cheese and bread crumbs. Take each chicken breast and coat it in the mustard mixture, then coating it in the bread crumb mixture. Place in prepared dish. Sprinkle extra parmesan cheese on top now, if desired. Bake at 475 for 15-20 minutes

My Aunt Lyssa brought these delectables to Baby James' blessing last week and I can't TELL you how incredibly they are!! If you like pumpkin desserts, this will sink you. If you don't, you'll still lurve it. Perfect for the fall/winter weather, and could be a great alternative to traditional pumpkin pie this Thanksgiving!! This seriously might be my new favorite dessert... And they are soooo easy!!!!

{What you need}

1, 15 oz can pumpkin puree

1, 12 oz can evaporated milk

3 eggs

1 cup white sugar

4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

1, 18.25 oz package yellow cake mix

3/4 cup butter, melted

1 1/2 cup chopped walnuts {optional}

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13 baking pan. In a large bowl, combine pumpkin, milk, eggs, sugar, and spice. Pour into greased pan. Sprinkle the dry cake mix on top and drizzle melted butter on top. Add walnuts on top, if desired. Bake for one hour at 350 or until a knife inserted comes out clean. Serves great hot or cold!

Cut the loaf of bread like a grid, without cutting through the bottom crust. Sprinkle/pack the cheese down in the wedges and cuts of the loaf. Do the same with the bacon bits. Mix the ranch dressing mix in the melted butter and pour all over bread, making sure to get in the wedges and cuts as well. Cover in tinfoil and bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Remove the tin foil and bake for about 10 more minutes, or until cheese is melted. Stuff your face relentlessly. But try not to eat the whole loaf by yourself......

Hi, I'm Jessi! Ever since I got married I started taking cooking and baking more seriously as part of my quest to become the "perfect wife." I soon realized, though, that all it takes is a great recipe to trick people into thinking you are an amazing chef!

This blog is for the ordinary chef, like myself, who wants to take it up a notch and dazzle people with deliciousness. I try to keep these recipes as gourmet but as simple as possible. A lot of them are collected from my family and friends, so if you would like to contribute you can email me. . . . I'll make your recipe for my husband and then feature it on the blog! We would both be extremely grateful!
